We had the pleasure of sharing an evening with Michele Howe. She shared with us her journey as a survivor of throat and neck cancer and how this experience prompted her to turn inward and look more closely on the many ways she could heal–apart from modern medicine.

Michele dove into a mindfulness practice and highlighted some of the things that worked for her, as well as shared her programs and books which can help others on this path.

During this second session offered on Meditative Writing, participants practiced with several different kinds of writing before immersing themselves into a 45-minute session. Below are the resources from this event.

Thank you, John Altieri, for sharing your journey and your gift with us! What we learned from his teachings:

John explained his experiences working with paranormal activity in historic homes all over Long Island and beyond.

He recommended the text, Psychic Pathways. All us have psychic abilities that are often untapped. This text can help train us to bring them forth. What we think is “intuition” is actually a psychic ability.

John had his first psychic experience while in the 5th grade, where he saw a custodian flip over on a lawn mower. In moments, this actually happened, much to his surprise, right after he told his teacher the man had tipped over.

John reviews our 7 chakras and gave some helpful handouts. He advised that if you meditate on a chakra for a few days in a row, you can clear it. Then move to the next one. He recommends envisioning the color associated with that chakra.

He recommends saying a prayer before helping someone, whether it is using your psychic abilities or simply showing up to work where you serve others. Say, “God, please help me to choose the right words and do the best that I can to help this person.”

He said that “prayers are like antibiotics”–you can’t just say it once. You have to use them more than once.

John did a quick read of the room and gave each participant a short reading in front of all of us.

John will return in the fall for another round! If you are interested in a private reading, which he does via phone or in person, please call him at 631.422.4799

Practical Exercises to Cut Energetic Cords

Technique #1

■Make a list of people you interact with daily. Leave space between their names.

■Make a list of people you think about often, but may not necessarily see.

■Next to each name, write how you feel after interacting with them.

■For the people you don’t see often, what emotion comes to mind when you think of them?

1.Pick one person from your list, the one that you feel leaves you the most depleted.

2.Put one hand over your stomach area (solar plexus)—most negative cords are connected this way.

3.Set the firm intention to not allow any more energetic exchange on this level with the other person.

4.Move one of your hands with an up and down motion over your solar plexus.

5.Visualize “chopping” the cord and by doing so, you are breaking the flow of energy to the other person.

6.Repeat a firm intention to break this cord now, for good.

Technique #2

The basic steps to cord cutting: Focus on the person that you wish to clear your energetic and emotional ties with. Allow yourself to call up the emotions that you still feel for this person, there’s no need to squash anything, no one has to know anything about your experience…

1.Close your eyes and using your imagination, see the other person standing in front of you, a few feet away.

2.See a cord of energy connecting your bellybutton to their bellybutton or your sexual center to theirs and either using your hand or imagine a bright silver sword or pair of scissors, cut the cord and allow it to release.

3.You may want to use a swift and chopping motion three times.

4.See the cords releasing and your cord returning back to you and their cord returning back to them…

5.You may want to recall memories into your mind’s eye that still hold emotion or energy around this person and see the cords of this experience being cut and released or dissolved

Do this for every cord you want to cut.

Technique #3

Thank you to our outstanding presenter, Orelia Sophie! Below is an excerpt from the email she sent all participants. She will be returning on July 23rd for more insight into how we can make the law of attraction work for us!

I also strongly suggest you follow the advice that Bob Proctor told me, subscribe to 6 minutes to success. It’s a wonderful program that will start your morning off with fantastic thoughts, exercises and positive intention for each day. You can do a 2 week trial for just $1.

I would also like to offer everyone who came last night a free meeting to discuss how you can best alter your self-image to the image you choose.

Whatever the results are in your life, they are a result of your self-image, which is a composite of beliefs you hold about yourself, beliefs that were conditioned into you by your environment. Whatever your self-image is, your subconscious WILL MANIFEST that image into reality. You may drift away from that image a little (with some progress towards what you want), but as soon as the subconscious feels you moving too far away from its image of itself, it will sabotage any further “progress” and pull you back to where you “belong.”

Any progress towards what you want MUST BEGIN WITH A CLEAR IMAGE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE AND THE FEELING THAT IT IS ALREADY YOURS–ALREADY WHO YOU ARE.

The change you want, can only come and STAY when you change the image you hold of yourself in your subconscious mind.

You didn’t choose your paradigms. You didn’t choose your beliefs or your self-image. It was given to you by very well-intended people who were just doing the best they could… doing what they were conditioned to do.
